It&#8217;s dense without being heavy, buttery without being greasy, and satisfying in a way that lighter cakes just can&#8217;t match.

Preheat and Prepare:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preheat your oven to 325\u00b0F (160\u00b0C). Grease a 9&#215;5 inch loaf pan thoroughly, then dust with flour, tapping out the excess. Alternatively, line with parchment paper, leaving overhang on the long sides for easy removal.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Combine Dry Ingredients:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. Set aside.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Cream Butter and Sugar:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>In a large bowl, beat the softened butter with an electric mixer on medium speed until creamy, about 1 minute.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Gradually add the sugar and continue beating until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. This step is crucial for a tender pound cake.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Add Eggs and Flavorings:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition and scraping down the bowl as needed. The mixture should be smooth and glossy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Beat in the lemon zest, lemon juice, and vanilla extract until combined.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Alternate Dry and Wet:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>With the mixer on low speed, add half of the flour mixture, mixing until just combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add all of the sour cream, mixing until just combined.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Add the remaining flour mixture and mix until just combined and no streaks of flour remain. Do not overmix. Scrape the bottom of the bowl with a spatula to ensure everything is incorporated.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Bake:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan and spread it evenly. Tap the pan gently on the counter a few times to release any air bubbles.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Bake for 60-70 minutes, until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean or with a few moist crumbs.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the top is browning too quickly, tent loosely with foil for the last 15-20 minutes of baking.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the cake cool in the pan for 15 minutes, then carefully turn it out onto a wire rack placed over a baking sheet (to catch glaze drips).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Make the Glaze:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>While the cake cools slightly, make the glaze. In a small bowl, whisk together the sifted powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of lemon juice until smooth. Add more lemon juice, a teaspoon at a time, until you reach a thick but pourable consistency. The glaze should be thick enough to coat the back of a spoon but still drizzle easily.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>If the glaze becomes too thin, add more powdered sugar. Stir in the lemon zest if using.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Glaze the Cake:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>While the cake is still warm (but not hot), pour the glaze slowly over the top, allowing it to drip down the sides. Use a spatula to spread it evenly if needed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let the cake cool completely on the wire rack. The glaze will set into a beautiful, slightly crisp shell.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9. Serve:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Slice and serve at room temperature. The flavor is even better the next day!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Summary<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Prep Time:<\/strong> 20 minutes | <strong>Bake Time:<\/strong> 60-70 minutes | <strong>Cooling Time:<\/strong> 30 minutes | <strong>Total Time:<\/strong> 2 hours<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Yield:<\/strong> One 9&#215;5 inch loaf (8-10 servings)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Difficulty:<\/strong> Easy to Intermediate<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Storage and Make-Ahead Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Store:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Store lemon pound cake tightly wrapped in plastic wrap or in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days. The glaze will stay beautifully set. The flavor actually improves after a day!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Can You Freeze Pound Cake?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Absolutely! Pound cake freezes beautifully. For best results, freeze the unglazed cake. Wrap the cooled cake tightly in plastic wrap, then in foil, and place in a freezer bag. Freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw at room temperature, then prepare and add the glaze.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freezing Glazed Cake:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can freeze the glazed cake, but the glaze may lose some of its crispness. Freeze as directed above, and refresh in a 300\u00b0F oven for 5-10 minutes if desired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Make-Ahead for Parties:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This cake is perfect for making ahead. Bake it a day before, store at room temperature, and glaze the day you plan to serve. The glaze is best when fresh.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Freezing Lemon Zest:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have extra lemons, zest them and freeze the zest in a small bag. It thaws instantly and is perfect for future baking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:63px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/15\/2026\/03\/hf_20260429_111134_5c28e554-bc48-440e-892d-d432942d6ef8-1024x1024.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1698\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/15\/2026\/03\/hf_20260429_111134_5c28e554-bc48-440e-892d-d432942d6ef8-1024x1024.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/15\/2026\/03\/hf_20260429_111134_5c28e554-bc48-440e-892d-d432942d6ef8-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/15\/2026\/03\/hf_20260429_111134_5c28e554-bc48-440e-892d-d432942d6ef8-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/15\/2026\/03\/hf_20260429_111134_5c28e554-bc48-440e-892d-d432942d6ef8-768x768.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/15\/2026\/03\/hf_20260429_111134_5c28e554-bc48-440e-892d-d432942d6ef8-1536x1536.png 1536w, https:\/\/cdn.goodlighttravel.com\/sites\/15\/2026\/03\/hf_20260429_111134_5c28e554-bc48-440e-892d-d432942d6ef8.png 2048w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The ultimate lemon pound cake\u2014dense, buttery, and bursting with bright citrus flavor.
